This is 15.
Phone in hand, covering her face to get by me as quickly as possible.
Volleyball, Snapchat and AirPods take priority these days.
...while her Mom and I fall a few further rungs down the ladder.
We get it.
Life is good.
Fast and furious...
...and sometimes frazzled.
And this kid...
...well, she's crushing it.
I won't embarrass her much more.
You make us proud kiddo.
Keep at it.
We love you.
Happy Birthday!!!
